I Read Your Blog!

This last year has brought a number of new people into my life. I am amazed at how interesting and involved all of them are. Every one of them has something intelligent to say. Every one of them is talented and accomplished. When I spend time with them I am reminded, pleasantly, that I need to step up my game so I can keep up. Each of them challenges me in a different way and I walk away from our time together full of ideas and inspiration.

While all of the women in this picture have many talents and interests, what they bring to the big picture of American cycling as an everyday activity of normal life is immeasurable.

Hi, Bill from Pgh,This seems like an appropriate time to say something, I feel like I have been listening to public radio and now it's sort of like, pledge time, so here you go. Without any actual money.I read your blogs, and they inspire me endlessly, these things you do in your lives, but also taking the time to chronicle things. Wonderful fun! You inspire me to work in my town to take biking away from a sporty activity done by a few, to a practical everyday activity enjoyed by many. Thanks!
